Thank you Ralph! Full washing was always recommended before indirect training (bleach+toning bath), but for direct toning with Viradon, lack of full info provided by Agfa is just amazing. They talk about using soda bath for faster washing (just like Kodak HCA) and avoiding prolonged washing times but little about other important aspects of using their toner.

a quick rinse after fixing was enough for direct toning in viradon, in my case. No staining. About 50 prints so far.

lucky you

Indeed.

but you should see the mess when I put the print directly from viradon into the fixer (as a test). I swear, I could see some fizzing going on...
